steamed
"Steamed" refers to a cooking method where food is cooked using steam, which is the vapor produced when water is heated. This technique helps retain the food's nutrients, flavor, and color, making it a popular choice for preparing vegetables, fish, and dumplings. Steaming can be done using various tools, such as a steamer basket, electric steamer, or even a pot with a lid.
In addition to cooking, "steamed" can also describe a state of being emotionally charged or agitated. For example, someone might say they are "steamed" when they are very angry or frustrated. This usage conveys a sense of pressure building up, similar to steam escaping from a boiling pot.
